The Club can purchase training kit (Gi) on your behalf. Costs for specific sizes can be obtained from Chris Bowles or Shelley Riddall. Whilst there is a small first aid kit at the club, all players should ensure they have their own first aid kit. As a minimum it should contains plasters and tape. We ask all new members to complete a membership registration form. For the safety of your child it is important that the Club is informed of any medical condition or allergies that may be relevant in the unfortunate event your child falls ill or is involved in an accident whilst under the supervision of the Club.
